MSV president Walter Hellmich and Hannover director of sport Ilja Kanzig agreed the move on Sunday and the Cameroon international will join the Zebras in their winter training camp in Turkey on Tuesday.

Idrissou, who will put pen-to-paper on a deal keeping him at the MSV Arena until June 2008, scored 13 goals in 64 appearances for Hannover before suffering knee problems.

New Duisburg coach Jurgen Kohler will now hope that the 25-year-old can kick-start his career again by scoring the goals necessary to keep the club in the top flight this season.
